City of Illusions

On a post-apocalyptic future Earth long ago conquered by the alien Shing, a man with no memory and strange golden eyes emerges from the forest and is raised by a small community of Forest People. Setting out to recover his identity, he journeys across a fractured continent to the city of Es Toch, seat of the Shing, in a quest that ties him to the wider civilization of the Hainish worlds.
